Global changes in the weather pattern that resulted in heavier rain is to be blamed for the recent leaks at the Parliament building, said Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu. [Bernama]
“Rain is really heavy nowadays, not only here, but throughout the world.
“Like in England, streets are filled with five feet (deep) of water, in (the United States of) America there’s also flood.”
Thing is, if my 30-year-old house in Ipoh can survive the ‘global changes in weather pattern’… what makes the Parliament building so vulnerable to heavy rains? Luckily we don’t have a typhoon or something, or else the members of parliaments will have to hold their meetings in some mamak stalls.
Besides, what does the flood in the West have to do with the leaks in our Parliament?
The remarks is stupidity at its lowest level.
